InstaFriday–A whole-lotta

I love linking up with Life Rearranged’s InstaFriday. But things happen and I don’t get to do it every week… or even always on Friday (ahem!). But I just love love love to document my phone pictures so I’m posting today! (Don’t you love your phone pix too? We have our phones on us all the time and catch the cutest moments!)

Good Morning 37.5 weeks. (Tomorrow I’m 40 weeks… gotta take a pic!)

          

Eli had his 5th Birthday Pirate Party. I made bday tees for the boys (maybe a preview of a new Eli’s Lids tee?!?!?) and we had a blast that HOT day at the park!

On the actual birth day we have some fun traditions. The kiddos’ fave is getting candles and the birthday song with every meal.

Never left in the dust, our lil’ princess wanted to wear her dress-up stuff to Souplantation.

And we let her.

You’re only 3 once!

I made coming home tees for the kiddos.

You better believe we are all coordinating for that 10 minute car ride and the 1,582 pictures!

I found it pretty hard to find big bro tees for boys that aren’t lame (i.e. I’m not even a fan of the word bro…) and I wanted something a little more custom. (i.e. Eli is a big brother of 3 lil’ ones and Cy is a little brother as well as a big brother…)

How do you think the boy ones turned out?

Would you be (or do you think people would be) interested in custom “big brother” tees?

Eli’s says “BIG Brother (times 3)” and Cy’s says Little “Big Brother.”

For Blackout 2011 we met some friends for pizza and Dippin’ Dots. Their lil’ guy was wearing his Lid and it looked awesome!

I’m so thankful for every Lid we sell.

REALLY!

Thanks for reading my blog and liking my Lids.

REALLY!

Cora Jane was tongue tied.

3 minutes with a laser and now she isn’t.

      

     

Some everyday moments I don’t want to forget.

Waking up from naps.

Falling asleep while having lunch at “Daddy’s Work.”

Movie night while Hot Hubby took Eli on a guys night out.

Reading.

Our 1st Annual Back to School Feast was awesome.

I’m proud of how it turned out so you should read the post and copy everything!!

My friend Kyla (Funky Polkadot Giraffe) hosted a craft night with Jaime (Polkadots on Parade), Nicole (Olive Blue) and me (Eli’s Lids) – I got to organize the crafties. These were my favorite! Tutorial coming soon!

Cora Jane was playing pet shop on my belly and the new baby kept kicking the animals down.

It was very Alien-ish.

AND did you know it’s International Talk Like a Pirate Day?

(I didn’t until my friend Korie let me in on the secret.) Here is Eli teaching Cy how to use a pirate hook. A very necessary skill in our home.

While it is quite fun, don’t you think it’s incredibly ridiculous we have International Talk Like a Pirate Day?? How about Give up your Starbucks and Donate to a Charity Day or Turn Off your TV and Read to your Kiddo Day or Bake Cookies for your Neighbor Day or Take a Walk without your Cell Phone to your Ear Day or… I could go on and on…

What’s a Day you would want the world to celebrate??
